Hi,
Mike Sweet has offered to be the editor of a confidential virtual
interoperability event
on the PWG Power MIB.
I suggest the following approach:
(1) At their own facilities, on the printers or test beds of their choice,
contributors
should capture SNMP MIB walks to plaintext, CSV, or PDF (preferably without
headers
and footers, for ease of review) of their *public* MIBs, including the
following MIBs:
- IETF MIB-II (RFC 1213)
- IETF Host Resources MIB v2 (RFC 2790)
- IETF Printer MIB v2 (RFC 3805)
- PWG Power MIB (PWG 5106.5)
(2) MIB walks should include the following fields for each object:
- object name or OID (compiled object name is convenient for human
browsing, but not necessary)
- object instance - scalars are always '.0' - all Power MIB columnar
objects are simple integers
- object datatype - base or textual convention
- object value - integer, string (w/ hex?)
(3) MIB walks should NOT include *private* MIBs (to avoid confidential
disclosure)
Interop editor will review MIB walks and produce a table of object groups
and individual objects, showing coverage, implementation issues, etc. in
a summary report for the April or June F2F (according to the timing of the
event).
Cheers,
- Ira
